<!-- look at every 1st, 3rd, 5th, etc 'eno' element child of current node -->
<xsl:for-each select="eno[position() mod 2 = 1]">
  <!-- start a new table row -->
  <tr>
    <!-- cell 1: value of current 'eno' -->
    <td>
      <xsl:value-of select="."/>
    </td>
    <!-- cell 2: value of next 'eno' or a non-breaking space if none -->
    <td>
      <xsl:choose>
        <xsl:when test="following-sibling::eno">
          <xsl:value-of select="following-sibling::eno"/>
        </xsl:when>
        <xsl:otherwise>&#160;</xsl:otherwise>
    </td>
  </tr>
</xsl:for-each>
